59 | How to Influence Your Subconscious Mind with Affirmations Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

What does it mean to really influence the subconscious mind with affirmations? We start by defining the word subconscious and affirmation to help you understand what they both are so we can help you to really invoke the change you want to see in your life.

In this episode we teach you how to influence your subconscious with affirmations with the following:

Affirmations that don’t cause mental conflict - we do this by giving you examples that are powerful and relatable
How to use affirmations so your subconscious mind absorbs them - Kevin explains this by doing a simple practice
It takes time - remember you are building a spiritual muscle, you will notice an effect but it still takes time to build a new habit
Give yourself a challenge - make a goal to use affirmations and track your progress

We recommend you grab a notebook and take some notes to help you on your way to using affirmations to influence your subconscious mind. If you have any questions or want to let us know your favorite affirmations to use, reach out to us at:

Our own life experiences

57 | The Importance of Disconnecting From Our Always Connected World Nov 20, 2020

Show notes

We live in a world where we are constantly connected. Constantly plugged into our phones, updating our social media platforms, scrolling through Facebook and Instagram, watching YouTube videos etc. The more we are plugged in, the less time we have for our own original thought.

These platforms are fighting for one of our most precious assets: our time and our attention. When we spend time on our phones or devices, we are being stimulated to think and feel certain things.

It's no wonder so many people today don't know who they are or feel like they don't have a strong relationship with themselves. It's because we don't spend enough time alone with our thoughts.

In this episode, Chris talks about the importance of disconnecting from our outside world so that we can connect with our inside world.

55 | How Societal Thinking and Comparison Keep Us From Following Our Dreams Nov 10, 2020

Show notes

Have you ever had an idea or a dream to do something but either asked yourself:

1. Is this dream too big? What if I fail? Will people support me?

2. Is this dream too small? Should I be dreaming bigger? Will others look down on me for this simple dream?

If you answered yes to either of these questions, you might be a victim of comparing yourself to others. In other words, you are afraid of what others may think of you.

In this episode we discuss:

Why it's 100% normal to have these thoughts.

What to do about these thoughts and how to move forward.

Why having a simple dream to live a simple life is just as meaningful as having a huge dream to impact the world.

The importance of resonance when it comes to choosing and following a dream.

Why societal thinking and programming keeps us from following our dreams.

Remember, information doesn’t cause transformation, inspiration with action does! There is a power when you go deep within yourself, but we also understand that it is not easy. We often need help along the way to reprogram these beliefs. That is why Kevin is giving a gift of a strategy session for anyone who resonates with what we’ve been sharing on this podcast!
